Richmond Mural Project 2015 Program

Although the action in Richmond will last for two weeks, it is important to mention several dates that could be considered as highlight events of the Richmond Mural Project 2015. The main reception (outdoor reception) will take place on July 18th, on 2727 West Broad St. The visitors will enjoy live painting by Mas Paz, live music by three local bands and two DJs, and video projection of murals in progress. This event is free and for all ages. Don’t forget to attend the kick-off reception that will take place on July 12th in Sabia Restaurant, on 2727 West Broad St Richmond. There you will be able to meet and welcome the muralists. However, these two events are only the beginning; visitors should be patient and wait for all murals to be finished by the end of the program.
